Adolescent Development: The Essential Readings guides the reader through the maze of issues that emerge in the transition from childhood to adulthood.".

"The individual studies bring to life the manner in which adolescent behavior is investigated, represent some of the most compelling current science that focuses on adolescence, and demonstrate the wide range of creative scholarship that can be found in this area of study. The readings will stimulate thoughts about the study of adolescence and push forward the reader's understanding of ideas of adolescence."--BOOK JACKET.
